1320 PST my IFT went through. Class went longer than expected.

Roger!

Probably insignificant, but 3 IFT's actually in April:
S fund
I fund
back to G fund

This morning 0415 PST got the error message explaining I've already used my two allowed IFT's for...

0415am Pacific time. IFT attempt:
You cannot transfer among the other funds until after noon eastern time on the last business day of this month.

ahh...thanks!

So far birch i've only opened an individual account outside of tsp and trying to build up some kind of base there. Isnt a roth similar to the tsp in the sense that the contributions are pre-tax and...

yeah I just called TSP to chat with them....and express my disgust for 2 per month. The guy was helpful and sympathetic, but informed me all that could be done is to write the tsp board regarding my...

RE: IFT's, I thought I read that a move to the G fund does not count regarding your 2 monthly IFT's. Is this true?

Yeah, this is why I needed to clarify what was what. I pulled out premature and seeing the error of my ways now. I had a feeling & just wanted to get in at a lower-low. Not so much worried about that...

Ok got it finally! So......I just enrolled with autotracker a few days ago, and I now believe my initial allocation provided to Tom is incorrect. Not so important. -But, when looking over some...

So if the tracker should reflect how we change the % of different funds we are in, I am actually able to change two different % of funds per the table below. When I registered with Tom for the...

Thanks for the quick reply & helping me not feel stupid lol.
To clarify.....like described, the autotracker lists what individual funds im contributing to monthly, as well as the percentages...

I dont mean to beat a dead post, but Ive had an ongoing confusion with the general TSP lingo used here.
If i understand it correct: my contribution allocation (aka allocation) tracked by the...

Well I considered your suggestion, and headed off for a simple start at browing through Barnes & noble. Ive got my wife interested in learning, and bluntly, both of us really are not familiar with...

Well, last few days spent getting the wife somewhat interested in learning. Looked at ING Direct as they are advertising a no account minimum or inactivity fees. Not sure about their trading fee's...

I understand, the L comment was silly. Its a "autopilot for the rest of your life" -fund.
2% isnt too far off, when comapred to the fact that I sat 100% G fund 6 months, then 100% I fund 12 months....

Good advice. Your "very yummy in a market crash" numbers were along what i was thinking of looking into. Curious if theres any objections to your suggestions.......Turbo made a suggestion of the...

I appreciate all the help & suggestions. Currently, staying in the TSP seems the best option. I have 18 months minimum left with the Army, Its allocated automatically prior to taxes, & financially...

One last thing...(sorry to hog the topic) I was going to save this for a correct thread. I signed into the TSP by the advice given to a group of soldiers during a financial brief....one of the...

DCA is basically what I was initially doing, isnt it? A monthly set amount regularly into a partucular fund.....only deviation was the time table. I didnt have a set time table, as I didnt have a...

This is my first post with any financial reference.
Im in the Army and upon signing up, my money went automatically into the G fund where I made no changes. It made me $1.60 my first statement. I...
